Which best bros know each other best? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical morning. And please welcome best bros and co-host of the show, Everything's A Competition, new episodes every Thursday on YouTube, Rob Mariano and Dylan Efron. Give us one of these. One of these. Yep. And then one of these, and then you. So glad to have you. Welcome boys. So you know, you guys have a YouTube show. We have a YouTube show. Yes. We've known each other for over 40 years, you guys have known each other for what? About two. One and a half. But I've watched him on TV. One and a half. A long time. Okay. Does that count? I think it counts. Okay, are you intimidated? Uh, we normally compete against each other, so we gotta see if we can put. Are we intimidated by you guys? Yeah. No. Oh. We're not. No. They're intimidated by having to work together. Yeah. Instead of compete against each other. I'm intimidated by the closeness of this set. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Well, you know, we're gonna separate in a little bit. Okay. All right. It's time for the Great Broker Showdown: Old Bros vs. New Bros Edition. Hello gentlemen. I'm your partner poker dealer for today. Yes, welcome back. You were our original dealer. Yeah. So, uh. OG back at it. Back at it again. All right. Back at it again. Maybe a little rusty, but I got this. I have a question designed to test how well each set of best friends really knows each other. Mm-hmm. For this first round, Link and Rob, you're gonna choose an answer from the cards in your hand that you feel represents you the best, and your bros are trying to guess what the answer is. So Rhett and Dylan, your first question is, what would your bro choose as his action hero tagline? Is it, by the power of protein powder. It's justice o'clock. A plague upon your panties. It's hard to read panties. It's hard to read upside down. Yeah. I, have you ever read panties upside down? I've never read 'em upside down. No. Read panties upside down. Don't delay the game, keep going. I mean, if there's, there's something written on 'em. I've seen upside down red panties. Sorry. What? I said I've seen upside down red panties. I thought was great. I liked it. All right. Frick, you mother effer. Okay. And. Bam, bam, thank you, ma'am. All right, so Link, Rob. Just so just so I can confirm this is what he thinks his slogan. Action hero tagline. If he was an action hero. Yeah. Okay. As an action hero. Action hero. That's actually how much kill be. I feel like this is easier than I thought. That's a 40 to share. How much can we bet. Yeah, I, let's bet the house. Whoa. What? It's pretty obvious. It's pretty obvious. Oh gosh. Because it's, this is not obvious for me. Uh. I had a feeling this was gonna be really easy or really hard. Yeah. And so far this feels easy. If you are wrong, there's gonna be a fight on the first one. Alright, I'm gonna start, I'm gonna start just kind of conservative. This, this is not an easy one. That's pretty weak. Not an easy. You guys have known each other 40 years and you're betting five. Yeah, listen, Rob. I, as soon as I saw the one that I thought represented him, yeah, I thought he was gonna be, I thought he was gonna do what you did. Yeah. And the fact that he didn't, I've lost all confidence. I mean, this is not a good, strong showing for you guys. Did you actually look at what they said? Well, you were talking about panties and you just got confused. Yeah. I mean, you can vote more. Vote. You can bet more. Yeah. But you don't have any confidence in your own answer. I gotta, I gotta leave like one or two just in case, so this isn't a two minute episode. Yeah, we, uh, we wouldn't do that. All right. So, Rhett, Dylan. You're gonna place your bet on what you think your bro's answer was by putting a bet on the answer. So, uh, I'll, I'll, I'll choose who goes first, but first I wanna make sure you guys know that, if you're stumped, you can use the poker face lifeline. Mm-hmm. But you can only use it once in the entire game. So, if you want to use that poker face lifeline, now's your chance. Otherwise you can hold on. And how does that work. Poker face lifeline. So the lifeline gives the player holding the card, in this case it'd be Link and Rob, 10 seconds to act out one incorrect answer, but just acting with only your face. Just face acting. Poker face. Anyone wanna use it? You might need to. That just eliminates. So you guys only bet five, why would you be using it already? I know, game theory. I know what you're doing, you're getting in my head, Rob. Yeah. I you're, I feel like, I feel the intimidation he was in my head before he showed up. Yeah, the intimidation is like. That's what it is. Off of you right now. God, I'm just. I just feel like. Guys, can you guys not fight? You're supposed to be best friends. There's one of these that feels like. You're making us feel uncomfortable, we're supposed to be the guests. Look, I'm picturing you and. I was a fan and now I'm just weird about it. I'm picturing you in tight, bursting into a scene and saying this, and I just feel like this is what you would say. I'm also confused, how do you act out a plague upon your panties with your face? Oh, I don't want see it. Do you wanna use your lifeline? Can you show it if it's, if you use your lifeline, I'll gladly panty face you. Alright. We'll save that one. Use the lifeline. Oh, well, you know. All right, bet. Okay. You know what? I'm not gonna use the lifeline and I am, and I'm confident. I'm gonna go three stacks and I think, uh, that. I think I'm doing the same. Should we talk about our rationale? Why? Well, yeah, why? Yeah, let's hear why. Dude. Too late. You have placed your bet. Well, I'll tell you why I said. Just because, I can't wait to find out what Rob put, but to me. What? There's only two. My God. There's only two that make sense for Link, and it would be a plague upon your panties because it's such a weird thing to say and no one understands it. But then there's bam, bam, thank you, ma'am, which is, he doesn't, he doesn't even like skulls. He's scared of scary things. And so I don't think he would do that, and so I think it's the heart. It's the, Hey, wham, bam, thank you, man. Life of the party, man. That's, that's the one you would do. Now, rob would've done frick you mother effer. Yeah, now I'm starting to think he would've done that too. The reason he, the reason I didn't think though, is he would never say that. You would just use the actual words. This is a PG action movie. He said that before it started. PG. Too late, guys. Too late. Bad start. Let's see what you. I could still see you saying this in your accent. Just say it once for us. I can't even say it, I'm so disappointed. I want, like you guys have applications for new friends in your group? Yeah. Can we make it a trio? Always open. Alright, Link. Let's see what you chose. Under my five, I put, plague on your panties, but for the reason you said it had panties in it, and I don't know what it means. That would be, that's what I would say, and that's what I'm gonna say, when I burst in rooms in tights. So this belongs to me. And Rob, let's see what you picked. I just, we all know what I picked. This is insanity. Wow. So a fight is gonna happen on set today. This is, this is nice. We gotta come back. And, uh, see you guys, so. So hard in the beginning. This just sounded so like. This is a layup, bro. This is a layup. I could. Say both of these for us and say what, see what comes out natural. **** you, motherf-. No, no. Say it how it is, say it how it is. Frick you mother effer. See? Would you ever say that? Bam, bam, thank you, ma'am? Hey, you know what? That sounded better. We're both losers in this round, and we'll give you some chips. You know, we'll give you some big chips. No, no, no, we don't want charity. We're gonna make a big comeback. Gonna be more embarrassing. All right. Okay. Here's the question for Link and Rob, if they didn't have the meanings they have today, which of these words would your bro name their future child? Okay. Enema. Omelet. Stain. Areola. Or herpes. All great options. Wow. So the connotation, like the modern connotation of these words, is not applicable. This is just how these sound. Yeah, what. As a name. Which one of these sounds best for a future child? When, yeah, when omelet doesn't mean omelet, and enema doesn't mean something up your butt. It's if I have a boy or a girl. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if any of these are reading. I think it is like only one correct answer. That's right. Really. Right. Oh, you're killing me. There's only one actual answer. I don't really know. I don't know which one. If he should be talking right now. Well, you, your guy already talked and he already gave you the clue, so I'm just. Anyway. Okay. Okay. I am that confident. 10. Okay. There's only one. Only one child. You're not having twins. Oh no, I feel you. You got it. Yeah. I'm going for the one. I can't believe you're betting half your chips right now. I know. I mean, you can bet anything else that you brought. Well, well, no, we still got chips, we got. I got, I got cash. You want me to wait? Yeah, let, let's bet our chips. Let's get a little stack, and then. Yeah. It'll be a little stack. Alright. Imagine you might be wrong. Hopefully you guys get a little stack. All right. Uh, all right, Link and Rob. Don't you do it. God. Got you. How is that the one? It's like Emma, Enema, Emma. Not even, there's one that looks different than the rest, and it's Stain. It doesn't seem like they won. I like this. That is not. No chance. All the others are girl names and Stain's a boy name. That's why I thought you said it was one. Bro, but who said it had to be a boy's name. You said there was one that was different than the rest. This is good. This is really good. I said there's one correct answer. They're gonna break up. The one that looks like it could be an actual name, like Emma, Enema. Areola is like an actual name. I was thinking if you went like Little Mermaid, that's what I was thinking that, but I couldn't get the image of, out of my head. It's tough. We're betting clothes now. Alright. I am feeling like we're in a good position. Mm-hmm. So, but this is not a home run, but you gotta bet for us. Omelet McLaughlin sounds good. I'm just going by sound. But you gotta bet five. Oh yeah, I gotta bet all five. Okay. Stain McLaughlin and Areola McLaughlin kind of work. Areola McLaughlin. Could be Ari. But I really think Enema McLaughlin, Enema McLaughlin, the way that my mouth feels when I say it, I also think it's the one true answer. Enema McLaughlin. It's not, and we have had multiple conversations about this subject. About what, when we talk about names, we talk about what? Something that we have. Starting with a vowel. No. Areola? No. Uh oh, herpes. One syllable names, man. Stain. Stain. It's a strong name. You both chose Stain. Sounds, it sounds like a name. It sounds like a name. Both. If we're talking about one that sounds different than the rest, Stain. Stain. Yes. It's like, Hey, what's up, stain? Yeah. Yeah, it works. I agree. Remember, we have a friend named Steel. Yeah, but Steel. Steel. Don't, don't do that to Steel. Also, I do think like Shep, Loch, and stain creates like a nice. Right. Stop agreeing with that, like. It was wrong. It was wrong. It was wrong. Enema. It's great. It's beautiful. You make a good point. That Enema McLaughlin sounds beautiful. Thank you. But, Stain. You didn't even put any rationale into it like that you just thought Enema. I say enema, sounds like Emma. But if it would've been like Enema Efron, okay, that actually makes sense. Yeah, that's. EE. Good too. It sounds good, Enema Efron. Wow. This is a disaster. Stain Efron. Stain. We are. Your dad would be very disappointed. David would not be happy. We need to be on a team. Yeah. Better. Let's switch it out. All right, Rhett and Dylan. Mm-hmm. According to your bro, what Mythical creature best represents his whole vibe? This sounds easier. Yeah. A centaur stuck in traffic. A unicorn who peaked in high school. A troll who collects rare teabags. A cyclops with stage fright. Or a mermaid with chronic hiccups. Damn. Okay. There isn't one that sticks out. Hiccups underwater is not fun. Just speaking from personal experience, uh, what's. What is this one again? This middle one? Yeah. A troll who collects rare teabags. What does it say on it? It says Rare Teabag Troll. Which. Oh, okay. I was hoping to not say. Troll. Hmm. Okay. I got it. All right. All right, so this is. This is what you're betting. Cash round. Okay. Do you guys have your wallets? You got, you figured these out, Rob? I got cash. Well, I don't, oh. Dang son. He came ready to play cards. What in the world, Rob. Hey, he is a poker player. Did you think this was real poker? Well, this is real, right? You gotta imagine. Yeah. Yeah, it will. Whoa, son. Cash rounds. I'm excited, 'Cause the house is already up, so. Oh my God. I bet it all. You know what's wild is like, that's actually, he didn't just do this for this, like he always has. You've made yourself a target. Have you ever heard of a, like a bank account? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't trust 'em, nobody trusts the bank. Everybody knows that. Don't trust the banks. He's got the shoebox though, huh? So, so every morning you just like reach under the mattress and then shove it in your pocket? We keep it in the freezer at our house, but. Oh, okay. Don't tell, don't, nobody knows. Keep it cold. And you bet. Between us five. But you bet all of your cash. I bet it all. That's crazy. Because this is not an easy one. No it's not. Uh, okay. I'm gonna bet every, everything we got. Five bucks, basically. Yeah. So that tells me nothing about how confident you are. I know you're not confident in one of these because there's none that are just like. Yeah. How much thought did you put it. Immediately. I just listened to you and I made my bet. Oops. Did, did you just focus on the one that I talked about? I can't say, that would be cheating. That would. That would be cheating, but. Uh. I don't know, I feel like. The watch is off. I see that. I like this, I like the look of that. Can pass that. We're, we're gonna rake it in, buddy. This is. If you pull it together. This might be more than that. Is it more, is it worth more than an Apple watch? It's, this is, is this the last round? This is. Hold on, is this the last round? I got one more round after this too. Oh boy. Alright, the smart, the smart one for you would've been that we're stuck in traffic. 'cause we were stuck on the traffic on the way here. What? Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, now. Uhuh, no response. Unicorn that peaked in high school. Wait, what is the thing where you can act out one that's not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So your poker face lifeline. Let's use the poker face lifeline. Let's, let's use the poker face. You have 10 seconds to act out one of the incorrect answers, you have to pick one. Oh. No, I'm not doing that. That's a waste of, that's a, that's a horrible lifeline. Right. Why don't you act out the one that is the answer. We don't typically allow for, uh, helpful lifelines. Do, don't, don't, don't engage, Chase. You see what he's doing. 5,000 a card. Don't engage. I know. It's a lot of money. Just not. If you engage, you lose. We, you know that. I know that. But I'm not playing. All right, I think I, I'm canceled out Mermaid with hiccups. He definitely doesn't have stage fright. I don't think it's centar in traffic, just 'cause I just talked about it. So he either peaked in high school, or he is a rare tea bag troll. And I'm going with the troll. God damnit. You're so, you're agonizing. I love it. It's only money. All right. Okay. It's quite a lot of it over there. Uh, you definitely didn't peak in high school. I mean, your highlight in high school was scoring two goals with your left foot. Hold on, wait. I did that. Was I answering for you or me? For you. For you. Well, crap. Okay. Now that I know that you thought you were answering for me, now I need to look at this differently. I think you, you are going to make the case that I did peak in high school. Yeah. This feels like collusion. I mean it definitely. I mean this does. Or we could, Link could now choose, or we can now choose, Link can choose, go back and choose the one that he actually thinks is for him. I mean, I don't know what it feels like it's cheating more to like, let Link pick a new card or. You guys decide. Yeah. Why don't you just, why don't you just know that I answered it backwards. Oh that is. Well then that's. That is collusion, that is, you are gonna get your hands cut off in the back room. I got Joe Pesci back there with the saw. So does he choose a new card then? Does he choose another card? Make your bet. We have a lot more on the line right now. We get like all that if we win. Alright. Are you done? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You got it. Wow. It seems pretty obvious to me who the troll is here. Okay. Okay, so I accidentally answered for you and I said that you were a mermaid with hiccup. You, remember you were a merman in that video that we made. You looked amazing. You get hiccups sometimes, uh. I'm not a mermaid. If you peaked in high school, we wouldn't be doing this dude. I wouldn't be doing it with you. Well, which one would you have chosen for yourself? Because I was gonna choose mermaid for you because you've got mermaid energy. Oh. Well thank you. I should have done that. Apple watch. A whole new world. You got the watches. They're back. Let's go. They're back in it. I have no idea what's gonna happen in this last round. All right, this is the final round. You guys have had a miraculous comeback. So Link and Rob. Well, how, how does he have three watches now? You gave him your watch too? It felt kind of, yeah, like the house is supposed to pay it out, so I gave him my $20 Casio. And I got two stacks because this is worth like five grand in cash each stack, so. Yeah, I think it's like 20 bucks. You guys said. Yeah, we see that. Did. I'm just saying like, I don't even know if we want to do the last round, right? Do you guys. No, no, you can't leave. What are you betting. Oh, you'll see. We can come up with something. All of Mythical. All right, Link and Rob, what fruit does your bro think represents him best? Orange slices at a peewee soccer game. An under ripe avocado. A banana stolen from a monkey. A caramel apple. Or a lime that's been sucked on after a tequila shot. So this is us? Yes. This is what. So we're answering for ourselves. What fruit represents us. Mm-hmm. Okay. I think it's pretty obvious. I think I, I, I, I really think this one's obvious. I really do. You thought every one was obvious. This should be, this should be obvious. I'm gonna double down. I'm gonna bet again. You know, I'm betting it all. I'm betting it all. We need this. I got it. This is unusual. We're going double. This is. We're going double, we bettin' the house house. Okay, uh, well. I've got an Oura ring. Uh, I've got a wedding ring. It's, but it's made of wood, so. I've got a hairband. I've got two shirts. We got three watches. Shirt off your back, shirt off your back. Again, I think. I mean that seems fair. Two hairbands, three watches. I think there's one that makes sense. It's not an exact science, I realize that, but I have my reasons, which I will explain. Okay. All right. Link, I don't know what you have to bet, but you should put something on the answer you think. Soccer oranges. Represents Rhett. Underripe avocado. Banana stolen from a monkey. Caramel apple. Sucked tequila lime. This is, why is this so hard? Just gimme another minute. Bear with me. You gonna get help for a lifeline? Do the lifeline. Okay, this is not the one I chose. Mm-hmm. It's just with your face, right? Mm-hmm. Only with your face, and you've got two seconds. Okay. I got it. I got it. Great acting. So it's not the tequila lime. Oh, I thought it was a sour apple. Oh. Mm. Is it a sour apple under the caramel? I'm. I don't think so. It's a green, the green ones are always sour. Underripe avocado, can all. Further into your brain. Uh, you know what, I think I, I'm gonna bet the glasses. It's kind of my thing. I mean, it's my brand. Mm. I'm, I'm, and my ability to read, this is valuable to me. You look like a different person right now. I'm not even me anymore. Who am I? And, and don't ask me to read. I think that an under ripe avocado still becomes ripe as it changes, and you can still, you can put it in a bag and it'll get better. You know me and bags, man. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. Rob. So I had an initial reaction to which one I thought you would choose, and I'm gonna go with my first gut. Oh gosh. Do you want to act out anything that it's not. And don't do what he did because I know it's not that. Yeah. It's just between, it's. I just said, I know it's not that. Yeah. So like we don't have to worry about doing that one. Yeah. That I think that, I think he did. I don't know if he did it or not. Yeah, I'm reading you loud and clear. Yeah, I a little bit there. But we can act one out, you wanna do poker face? Yeah, can I use my hands at all? No. All face. What if my hands are up here. Nope. Nope. 10 seconds. All. Listen, Rob's doing all the cheating. So you keep it straight. I just kinda want to guess, and if I'm wrong, then. I'll give you a really bad hint that hopefully that doesn't. Okay, let's do a poker face. You got 10 seconds. Okay, okay. Starting now. What is that? It's from a movie. You can't say it's from a movie. God, you guys are insufferable. What are you doing? Yeah, he's done it. Teeth. He's done it. Dentist. He's done it. All right, that's 10 seconds. Yeah. You, you gotta, you gotta place your bet now. Oh. A lot of money, bro. Yeah. Look at all this. Soccer oranges. You know what the hint was? Right? Too late. What was the hint? Was that a, were you a monkey? No, it was like the, that movie where he has the orange peel in his mouth. Okay, so let's see what. The Godfather? So the one thing it definitively. The Godfather. Everyone knew that was The Godfather. What did you choose? Oh my God, bro. I really wanted to say bam, bam, thank you, ma'am. I wanted say it bro. Bro, I was thinking like kindergarten, dylan frolicking playing soccer. Not avocado, you would never eat the under ripe one. You only wait till they're ripe. This is, he knows me better than I know myself, because. He knows you too well. I thought he was just gonna be like, oh, California avocado all day. I love soccer oranges. So you know, you might know me better than, so. Why didn't you just go with what you're supposed to put. Because it's so obvious. It's so obvious. California. Oh, okay, well. Win some, lose some. Alright, Link. So the way I thought about this was, I'm not too sweet. You know that, so I'm not gonna be an apple or a banana. Hmm. Citrus, it's a little bit sour, a little bit sweet. That could have been me, but. You were right in assuming that I'm a little bit hard, but gimme a little time and I get a little bit soft. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Breaking up. Look at all of that real cash. Wow. No, they can keep the chips. We're, we're good. We're good. We're good. Whoa. I don't even have a big enough pocket for this. Yeah, I got rubber bands. How you do it? There you go. There you go, man. You have three watches though. I think you might have lost those technically. Yeah, give us our watches. Give us our watches back. One of the pricier ones, or do I have to take my. It's up. You did a good job. You know what, let's, we're gonna tip the house. Yeah. Man, I think we have, we have to tell them. Bam, bam, thank you. I think we have to look in the camera. Yes. And you know, like we came here today thinking that we were the strongest bros. Our friendship is fresh and you know, we, we are humbled. We learned something today, right? Rhett and Link, you guys have known each other 40 years. Yeah. We don't have that same camaraderie, so. Yeah, that's right. Unfortunately. We aspire someday to get to where you guys are, and, uh, if one thing's true we're men of our word. Yeah. We lost today. But we, we know, like since we're doing this, we get the money back, right? Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. No. Well, well then we're never coming back. You guys have the stronger friendship and, uh, they won't be on the air for a few weeks after that they will be recovering from the beat down. Whoa. No, I'm just kidding. Congratulations. You guys have the stronger friendship. Okay. It was well done. It was well done, but it was close. It almost made me feel bad. Right up to the end. We started, we all, that was your your guys' first question, right? Wasn't it? Yeah, I think so. It was the one that mattered though. Peaked at the right time. It was the one that mattered. Alright, thanks guys and make sure you check out Rob and Dylan in Everything's a Competition on YouTube. New episodes every Thursday. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video.
